Chapter 524: Celestial Immortal Is Just an Abbreviation

The great halberd in Jiang Li’s hands had a completely different effect than when Holy Maiden Jingxin used it.

Compared to Jiang Li, Holy Maiden Jingxin seemed more like she was wielding a fire poker.

Buzz—

The halberd collided with the jade bracelet, causing air vibrations that triggered sonic waves. The waves spread out, plunging nearly half the world’s living beings into temporary tinnitus where they could hear nothing clearly, only a constant buzzing in their ears.

Another jade bracelet appeared above Jiang Li’s head, suddenly dropping down to clamp onto his skull.

Jiang Li tilted his head sideways, flipped over, and kicked the bracelet away.

Two more jade bracelets detached from Yu Yin’s wrist, attacking Jiang Li.

Jiang Li found himself surrounded from all sides, struggling to defend.

“Three Heads, Six Arms.” Jiang Li activated the great supernatural power of Three Heads and Six Arms, causing his combat power to skyrocket.

No attack could achieve surprise under the watch of six eyes, and with six arms holding six different weapons, four jade bracelets seemed rather insufficient.

Seeing this, Yu Yin kicked out with her bare foot, aiming for Jiang Li’s undefended chest. Jiang Li reacted just in time, grabbing both her bare feet with his hands and spinning in place, making Yu Yin dizzy from the rotation.

Yu Yin’s black hair multiplied, transforming into thousands of sharp blades that stabbed toward Jiang Li.

Jiang Li spat out immortal flames, burning all the beautiful hair to ashes.

Yu Yin cut off her hair, leaving it shoulder-length.

“Freeze!” Yu Yin pointed at Jiang Li, and the triumphant Jiang Li found himself unable to move.

This was a new supernatural power she had comprehended from Words Become Reality—Word as Law.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Li split into three—one person frozen, two able to move.

“Cough.” Bai Hongtu choked. “Using Three Heads and Six Arms while simultaneously employing One Qi Transforming Three Pure Ones—is this even human?”

Holy Maiden Jingxin heard this and became quite displeased, deciding to make Bai Hongtu the final villain in her next book.

Yu Yin was also shocked. She had never imagined these two supernatural powers and Dao techniques could be combined, but her rich combat experience told her this wasn’t the time for surprise.

Yu Yin moved instinctively, executing the Buddhist supernatural power Thousand-Armed Guanyin. A thousand hands formed a thousand different hand seals, pressing down like the apocalypse.

“Immovable Vajra Body.” Jiang Li murmured softly as a golden Buddha statue appeared behind him. The statue sat in full lotus position, possessed six arms, and had a compassionate face—but the face was Jiang Li’s.

The Buddha’s six arms supported the sky, forming a light screen that blocked the thousand hands and seals.

Another Jiang Li stepped on Eight Trigram Steps, moving mysteriously and unpredictably through space.

Countless threads appeared in his hands, wrapping around Yu Yin’s limbs and body. Yu Yin discovered she could no longer control her own movements.

“Luban Sect’s puppet technique?” Yu Yin recognized it immediately—this was the Luban Sect’s ultimate Dao technique within Tianyuan Dynasty’s territory.

Jiang Li didn’t answer, instead manipulating Yu Yin’s body. Yu Yin spat out a sword energy that severed the threads, regaining her freedom.

“Dragon and Phoenix Harmony.” Yu Yin painted a true dragon and true phoenix, dotting their eyes to bring them to life. The dragon and phoenix leaped from the painting, their posture and power identical to immortal beasts.

The real Jiang Li had long broken free from the immobilization spell. He merged his three bodies back into one, retracted the Three Heads and Six Arms, and using brute force, grabbed the dragon by its horns, throwing it onto the phoenix.

Most of the techniques the two used weren’t mentioned in the original work, exceeding Holy Maiden Jingxin’s imagination as the original author.

Yu Yin employed her long-hidden Dao of Painting to battle Jiang Li’s Dao techniques, but ultimately Jiang Li won by a single move, shattering the jade bracelets and sending Yu Yin flying, becoming the final victor.

“Still haven’t beaten you.” Yu Yin flew back from the distance.

“You’ve done very well. After becoming Human Sovereign, your combat skills haven’t deteriorated—in fact, you’ve become stronger than when you were just a Human Sovereign candidate.” Jiang Li said.

“But I still didn’t win.” Yu Yin remained bothered by this.

“Not winning is quite normal, considering your opponent was me.” Jiang Li comforted her, making Yu Yin grit her teeth in frustration.

“Speaking of which, this book world of yours is quite creative. After changing the plot, the characters’ behavior patterns and trajectories also changed.” Jiang Li was talking about Jing Shui.

“Immortal Elder said I’ve already touched the threshold of the Dao of Creation. The characters in the book can act according to their settings and develop on their own, though it’s far from reaching the effect of generating souls.”

“Dao Ancestor level talent.” Bai Hongtu didn’t hold back his praise for Yu Yin.

“Sister Yu Yin is so amazing.”

Clearly, compared to Jiang Li, Bai Hongtu and Holy Maiden Jingxin knew how to say nicer things.

Yu Yin gave Jing Shui a few instructions, then left the book world, with Jiang Li and the others following closely behind.

The original characters, now free from Yu Yin and the others’ control, would inherit their personalities and continue to develop within the book world.

…

“Master, Human Sovereign, can you hear me? No way, even the Human Sovereign has disappeared?” Wishful Gourd regretfully rolled around on the ground, finally nestling in Yu Yin’s shoe.

“Immortal Elder, can my master still be saved?” Three days had passed since Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu entered the book without any news, so Wishful Gourd had to ask Immortal Elder Changcun to emerge from seclusion and help.

“I think this isn’t a question of whether she can be saved, but rather that your method of contacting Yu Yin is wrong.” Immortal Elder Changcun watched Wishful Gourd desperately shouting “Master” at the novel and felt this gourd was probably quite ill.

It would be strange if Yu Yin could hear that.

Immortal Elder Changcun wasn’t particularly worried either. This was a book he had never seen before. As he flipped through “Overbearing Great Ascension Cultivator Falls For Me,” the text blurred, and when it became clear again, it was vastly different from the original version.

A Yin, Jing Shui, the nameless Big Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother—all these characters’ behaviors were changing.

Without needing to ask, he knew this was the result of Jiang Li and the others entering.

The novel emitted a soft light, and when the light disappeared, Jiang Li and the others appeared.

Yu Yin looked at the messy bedchamber and immediately determined it was caused by Wishful Gourd rolling around everywhere.

She looked down condescendingly as she stepped on Wishful Gourd, applying slight pressure with her foot sole to make the gourd roll slightly.

“You’ve been quite free these past few days when I wasn’t here.”

Holy Maiden Jingxin was quite surprised to see Immortal Elder Changcun: “Oh, Immortal Elder, I didn’t know you could actually leave your cave dwelling.”

Immortal Elder Changcun felt Holy Maiden Jingxin was showing signs of being influenced by Jiang Li.

If it weren’t for the fact that this young girl was Mortal World Celestial’s descendant…

“I enjoy staying in my cave dwelling to read, not that I can’t leave it, descendant of Mortal World Celestial.”

Speaking of Mortal World Celestial, the Immortal Elder wanted to visit Red Dust Pure Land.

Seeing Immortal Elder Changcun had the impulse to fly toward Red Dust Pure Land, Jiang Li quickly pressed him back into his seat.

“Immortal Elder, calm down. Mortal World Celestial wouldn’t like you.”

Immortal Elder Changcun glanced sideways—he felt that since Jiang Li returned from the Underworld, his words had become increasingly underworld-like.

“You certainly didn’t go to the Underworld for nothing.”

“Not at all, not at all.”

“This time when I went to the Underworld, I met the Ten Yama Kings, as well as a Primordial Chaos and Limitless Immortal with the honorable title Houtu Huangqi. Has Immortal Elder heard of this?”

“No, please continue.”

Jiang Li recounted everything he saw and heard in the Underworld in detail, also mentioning how Dao Ancestor had reincarnated into Wuzhi.

“Meeting now would be too early. I’ll pay respects to the old master when he separates from Wuzhi’s soul.” Immortal Elder Changcun forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart.

When Jiang Li mentioned easily defeating the Ten Yama Kings, Bai Hongtu teased from the side.

“Grandmaster, when you said Mahayana Stage could battle Celestial Immortals, you were really quite mistaken.”

Immortal Elder Changcun calmly said: “What I meant to say back then was that Mahayana Stage could defeat the Heavenly Dao and Immortals. Abbreviated, that becomes Celestial Immortals.”
